Anti-Flag — The People Or The Gun

The People Or The Gun marks Anti-Flag's departure from major label RCA, which released 2006's For Blood And Empire and last year's The Bright Lights Of America, and their return to an independent label. The disc also seems to be a return to the punk rock, D.I.Y. spirit that imbued Anti-Flag's early releases. Instead of demoing, booking a...

Anti-Flag Teach The Punks

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) September 15, 2008 1:33 pm
Black Lungs were originally supposed to be on the bill for this show, but main man Wade MacNeil was apparently ill, so they had to pull out. Toronto's Delinquints (so called because there's five of them — ha-ha) were added as their replacement. The group's sound isn't too interesting, but guitarist Beardo Belligerent is quite a talented player....

Anti-Flag — The Bright Lights Of America

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) April 1, 2008 9:10 pm
Pittsburgh's Anti-Flag have long been one of the United States' most outspoken punk outfits and their eight studio album, The Bright Lights Of America, takes a decided potshot at the good ol' stars and stripes. Bright Lights' 12 tracks of anguished American angst burn and churn in all the right places, and unlike a lot of punk bands, Anti-Flag...

Anti-Flag — For Blood And Empire

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) March 21, 2006 9:54 am
Pennsylvania punk stalwarts Anti-Flag have almost become an institution for angry, politically-charged punk rock. While most young punks cut their teeth on the band's earlier material, the quartet continue to move forward and fight the good fight. Their sixth album sees them moving further away from speed punk and simultaneously becoming heavier...

Anti-Flag recently released their ninth studio album, The People Or The Gun, through SideOneDummy. It's their first record on an independent label since 2003's Terror State, and although some people might say George W. Bush's departure as U.S. president and the election of Barack Obama mean things are looking up for the country south of the...

By The Stereo (CHARTattack) May 5, 2009 1:59 pm
This is definitely an Anti-Flag record, what with the songs that contain big "fuck yous" to religion and the man. It's way less inspired than their last one, though, which is funny considering over the last year much more things have arisen that are worth being pissed off and writing angry songs about. Do I have to start listening to...

Just before a recent gig in London, England, Anti-Flag discovered that one of their opening bands, Cancer Bats, were still stuck in Canada. Since Cancer Bats were also serving as the backing band for fellow opening act Black Lungs, it was a bit of a problem. Luckily, another Canadian band who were also in the U.K. to play some festivals were able...
